Situation: A company CEO is talking to a board member about a deal that fell
through.

Hi James. Please bear with me while I tell you the details of what happened.
We were banking on our offer for the company being accepted, so we went
ahead and built a new office block. Unfortunately, the deal fell through at the
last minute, so we now have a half-built office block that we don’t need. A few
other board members have suggested we complete the building, turn it into
apartments and sell them. I didn’t like the idea at first, but I must admit it’s
starting to grow on me. What do you think?
